Level 1 Inspections for Abandoned Vehicles

Level 1 Inspections for Abandoned Vehicles

EZ Title vehicle services is authorized to provide Level I inspection services at our Tempe, Arizona office location, or by appointment on-site at your location. In the case of an abandoned vehicle, an on-site inspection is required, as the abandoned vehicle is not able to be driven legally. Contact us to schedule your appointment.

A vehicle inspection may be required for many reasons, some of which include:

• The identity of the vehicle is in question (i.e. VIN, body style, fuel types, etc.)

• The person having the inspection done does not have ownership documents

• Validation that the vehicle identification number (VIN) is in agreement with the ownership document

• The vehicle was acquired by Operation of Law, and there is no previous record of an Arizona title or registration.

• A title and/or registration are being requested for a vehicle from out of state

• For purposes other than highway use, including:

• Exhibition or display

• Repaired, rebuilt, reconstructed, or dismantled vehicles

• As a requirement of the bonded title process

• Reconstructed vehicles

• Special construced vehicles

• Kit cars and kit trailers

• When titling and registering a vehicle for the first time, after a dismantle permit or salvaged certificate has been issued for the vehicle

• When the body styles has been modified or entered in error in MVD systems

• An erroneous odometer reading was entered in the MVD systems

• When fuel discrepanices indicate an error:

• Paperwork indicates gas when it is actually diesel

• Vehicle has been converted to an alternate fuel

• A second fuel type has been added

• When the motor coach number was recorded as the VIN on 1980 models and older

• Cab and Chassis vehicles require an inspection for body style, prior to renewing registration for the upcoming year

• For an abandoned vehicle

What are we looking for? Some of the items we will be looking at include, but may not be limited to:

• The vehicle’s VIN plate is intact, and has not been tampered with

• The correct rivets have been used to attach the VIN plate to the vehicle

• The secondary VIN matches the VIN on the VIN plate, and has not been tampered with

• The VIN on the customer’s title and/or registration matches the vehicle’s VIN

• The vehicle has the required equipment as prescribed by Arizona Revised Statutes
